Changing graphics

The original Photoshop files of the skin graphics (mainly background images) are attached to PatternSkinGraphics.

Top, Bottom and Left Bar customization

Most will customise top, bottom, and left bars.

Topic System.WebTopBar defines the content of the top bar. If this topic does not exist the topic System.WebTopBarExample will define the top bar. Foswiki does not ship with a WebTopBar topic so by creating this topic as a copy of WebTopBarExample and customizing the copy, you will not later risk that upgrading Foswiki will overwrite your top bar. The top bar is common for all webs.

Topic System.WebBottomBar defines the content of the bottom bar. If this topic does not exist the topic System.WebBottomBarExample will define the bottom bar. Foswiki does not ship with a WebBottomBar topic so by creating this topic as a copy of WebBottomBarExample and customizing the copy, you will not later risk that upgrading Foswiki will overwrite your bottom bar. The bottom bar is common for all webs.

Topic WebLeftBar defines the content of the left bar. Each web has its own WebLeftBar. If this topic does not exist the topic WebLeftBarExample will define the left bar. Foswiki does not ship with WebLeftBar topics so by creating these topics as copies of WebLeftBarExample and customizing the copies, you will not later risk that upgrading Foswiki will overwrite your left bars. You can choose to display the WebLeftBar on the right side of the screen.

If FOSWIKI_LAYOUT_URL or FOSWIKI_STYLE_URL don't give a value or point to non-existing files, check in DefaultPreferences and in SitePreferences that the following preferences do exist and that they are set to on:

v.4.0.5 - Fixed broken link in PatternSkinCustomization. Fix code/pre white-space styling. Make behaviour javascript work with IE8. Add clear:both to the css for the .foswikiContentFooter - that way it could be over-ridden by a subskin. Made links in headers should look like links.
